Samson's ODI Comeback: A Certainty or Just Wishful Thinking?
WV Raman backs Sanju Samson for ODI squad ahead of 2027 World Cup.
Sanju Samson’s ODI resurrection is all the chatter after WV Raman’s bold claims. With the T20 World Cup trophy in hand, the spotlight is on the 50-over format, and guess who’s knocking on the door? That’s right, it’s our boy Samson, who’s been waiting in the wings while the selectors play musical chairs.
Gautam Gambhir’s not sugar-coating it either; India’s recent ODI performances have been as flat as a biscuit, losing two series back-to-back. While the T20 squad looks like a well-oiled machine, the 50-over side needs a serious shake-up. Enter Samson, a player who’s got flair and fire – a combination that could light up South Africa in 2027.
But is it all just hopeful banter? With Ish and others in contention, the race for that coveted ODI spot is tighter than a bootlace on a wet day. If the selectors wake up and smell the coffee, we could see Samson donning the blue jersey sooner than you think. The next few series will be crucial in determining if this talk translates into action.
